Overview
Some people have likened this
sophisticated French Territory to the French Riviera transported to the South
Pacific. With its Parisian designer boutiques, duty free shopping, fine dining
and high concentration of Europeans, it does have a distinctly international
feel.
Grande Terre, the island on which the capital
Nouméa is situated, is where everything happens. It covers a 400km long area
from north to south and is 50km wide from west to east. Surrounded by a 1,600km
long coral barrier reef, New Caledonia has the largest lagoon in the world
(24,000km2).
Nouméa’s attractive restaurants cater to all
tastes and budgets ranging from the traditional French to Moroccan, Italian,
Chinese, Japanese and even Vietnamese fare. Nightlife is very active in the
capital with two casinos and a host of private clubs.
New Caledonia’s 231,000 inhabitants are spread
across seven islands. The ‘Big Land’ as the main island is known dominates with
the Loyalty Islands and Isle of Pines making up the balance of the
group.
